Transparent surface

Is there any way of making surfaces transparent. Would be good for Sun glasses, windows and such.

At the bottom of the Shading menu (sun icon), there’s an opacity slider.
It’s probably add other way to handle transparency in the future, for example by adding refraction,

Thank you so much… I can’t believe I missed that!

Thank you… I will try that too.

Amazing! I didn’t realise this either.

Oh no- sorry. Painting transparency was meant to be a little request for Stephane. It’s not available so far as I know. Only transparency per object - but this solves a lot of situations already.

Sorry for misleading

Painting transparency would be a huge step forward, painting hair, tree leaves etc … I am also looking forward to PBR Refraction with SSS. :wink:

How? I can’t find it

Have you tried another material? Like blending. Those have an opacity slider.

Check the manual for more detailed information.

I tried to have a transparent object but I only could get to be like glass… so reflections. Something being totally transparent to then paint stuff in there would be useful… and also would allow to have objects with a variable transparency in different parts of it.

You can paint an additive material black with metalness and roughness on full.
The only problem: you can only paint visible lighter color, no darken, colour is see through.
